about the authors

We know how full of perks frugal living can be, because we live it. Our weekly spending on everything except housing is less than a quarter of the Australian average – and yet we live a life of luxury and adventure!

The stripy one above with the wonky teeth is Annie. She’s a horticulturalist and artist, and she works at CERES nursery in Melbourne, giving people advice on how to grow lots of tomatoes.
